Any Update on C Mike?

[jordan4vols]

Or how the carries might shake out this weekend? Has he continued with the ones?

Fish said last night that Randle got most of the work with the 1s yesterday.

I think Randle starts, but gets his series break earlier than normal. Rather McFadden or Michael comes in remains to be seen. However, Michael will get his chances earlier and more plays than before.
Then they will go from there on the workload.

Strange wasn't just reported that Cmike got most of the work last week? I would imagine that there is some rotation. Sure Randle will start, but I have no doubt that Cmike shows more he will become the lead back.

Yup that was reported. sounds like they're just getting both ready to play.

Randle was the one taking hand-offs from Cassel on the practice highlights they were showing on NFL network.

I'll be very disappointed if they only give Cmike like 5 carries after all this RB talk last week. What a waste trying to ride it out with Randle

They should just use the same formula as last year, smash the D with a power back, get them tired, then unleash the speed guys to take advantage of it

Why, he isn't terrible. I know 3.9 isn't impressive but take Romo and Dez off the field and what did you expect with Weeds and company?

Hopefully it will only take 5 carries to realize his full potential. Then he can get at least 10 more behind that..

I hear you and agree but this coaching staff surprises me sometimes with dumb decisions.

I would bet Michaels does not get many carries. Thinking in the 5-10 range.

I doubt it. With the press conference and everything I assume C Mike will start and Randle will go as rotational.

come on Big Dog that doesn't tell the whole story

What we are seeing and reading does not apply that though. Last week even with CM getting attention Garrett still said Randle was the starter in his presser last week. I guess we will have to wait until Sunday.

That happens, I'm going straight over to your Crypt Keeper avatar and slappin the **** out of Al Davis that his Lloyd Christmas, prick with ears son will feel it.

You left out "if" CMike shows more. It's a distinction that he has yet to make happen. More power to him if he can make a big showing... I remain doubtful.

Not sure why people translated "C Mike to get more work" to Randle got benched. If anything, I think it speaks to a demotion for McFadden who has been very inefficient in his opportunities. I think C Mike fills McFadden's role.

This is my sense, as well.

Whatever gets CMIke on the field.. Both Randle and DMC have proven themselves unworthy of being in a lead dog role.
